Thanks. I am horrible at setting up boundries. My mother is very manipulative and controlling. Sadly this is me being stronger and better. She picks and picks and picks until I finally give in so she'll quit.
I am getting better because my kids need me to protect them though. She is starting to do the same crap to them that she did to me and my sister. She guilts you into things. I'm not going to let her make my kids feel the way she made me feel.

Thank you. My DH and I were actually just discussing our church's co-op. I think I am going to try for another 2 weeks and see if I can make it work. If not then I am going to pull them and we will attend the co-op in January.

If these are from me I am shipping Friday. We kind of ran out of money.

Its ok! No rush!
As for the issue on your mom, my blood father is a manipulator. It took having children to find my voice. Its still hard. He is a lying, drug addicted, alcoholic jerk and I dont want my kids around him. He has both of my brothers wrapped around his fingers and they are following in his footsteps. My step sister is torn b/c she has a small child BUT that man is the only dad she every knew. Her own father was completely MIA. I at least had a step dad who was incredible! He is everything I needed in a daddy. I really hope the church co-op turns out well! You may find a huge amount of support there that you have been needing all along.
